Properties and command line options

You use properties to specify how the probe interacts with the device. You can override the default values by using the properties file or the command line options.

The following table describes the properties and command line options specific to this probe. For more information about generic Netcool/OMNIbus properties and command line options, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe and Gateway Guide.

KeyStorePassword `string`	-keystorepassword `string`	Use this property to specify the password required to access the certificate specified by the Keystore property. The default is "". Note: You must encrypt this password using the nco_g_crypt utility with Netcool/OMNIbus.
NamingServiceHost `string`	-namingservicehost `string`	Use this property to specify the host on which the naming service is running. The default is "".
NamingServiceIORfile `string`	-namingserviceiorfile `string`	Use this property to specify the Naming Service object reference file. The default is "".
NamingServicePort `integer`	-namingserviceport `integer`	Use this property to specify the port on which the Naming Service is running. The default is 0.
NotificationCategories `string`	-notification categories `string`	Use this property to specify the notification categories to which the probe subscribes. To specify multiple categories, separate them using semicolons in the following format: `category1;category2;categoryn` The default is "" (the probe subscribes to all available notification categories).
NotificationFilter `string`	-notificationfilter `string`	Use this property to specify the filter that the notification IRP uses to limit the notifications sent to the probe. The default is "".
NotificationIRPIOR `string`	-notificationirpior `string`	Use this property to specify the Notification IRP object. The default is "".
NotificationIRPIORFile `string`	-notificationirpior file `string`	Use this property to specify the path to the Notification IRP IOR file. The default is "".
NotificationIRPName `string`	-notificationirpname `string`	Use this property to specify the name of the Notification IRP object to which the probe sends active alarm subscription requests. The default is "".
ORBCharEncoding `string`	-orbcharencoding `string`	Use this property to specify the native character encoding set used by the Object Request Broker (ORB) for character data. The default is ISO-8859-1.
ORBDebug `string`	-orbdebug `string`	Use this property to specify whether the probe writes ORB messages to a debug log file. This property takes the following values: false: The probe does not write ORB messages to a debug file. true: The probe writes ORB messages to a debug file. The default is false.
ORBDebugFile `string`	-orbdebugfile `string`	Use this property to specify the location of the ORB debug file. The default is $OMNIHOME/log/orb.debug.
ORBInitialHost `string`	-orbinitialhost `string`	Use this property to specify the host name of the Naming Service server. The default is "".
ORBInitialPort `integer`	-orbinitialport `integer`	Use this property to specify the port number through which to connect to the Naming Service host. The default is 1570.
ORBLocalHost `string`	-orblocalhost `string`	Use this property to specify the host name or IP address of the host where the application server or client application ORB is running. The default is "".
ORBLocalPort `integer`	-orblocalport `integer`	Use this property to specify the port number for the ORB to listen on. The default is 0.
ORBWCharDefault `string`	-orbwchardefault `string`	Use this property to specify what wide character (wchar) set the IBM ORB uses when communicating with other ORBs that do not publish a wchar set. The default is UTF16.
Release3GPP `string`	-release3gpp `string`	Use this property to specify the version of 3GPP that the host is running. The possible values are: V3.2 V5.5.1 V6.3 V6.4 V7.0 V9.1 The default is V9.1.
SecurityProtocol `string`	-securityprotocol `string`	Use this property to specify the security protocol. This property takes the following values: TLS TLSv1 TLSv1.2 The default is TLSv1.
TimeTick `integer`	-timetick `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in minutes) that device sessions are kept open. The default is -1 (this instructs the probe to keep sessions open permanently). Note: If the generic HeartBeatInterval property is set to 0, the Retry and RetryInterval properties will no affect. So if TimeTick is enabled, it should be used with the Inactivity property to shut down the probe following disconnection by the target system. If the HeartBeatInterval property is set to a value greater than 0, and if the heartbeat interval is shorter than the time tick interval, time tick will not be triggered to terminate connections because the expiry time of the connections will be constantly renewed on each heartbeat.
